March Discussion Thread

[#1]

Hey Guys!
Happy March 1!! So, at the begining of every month I'll start a new thread - otherwise the discussion threads get really really long if you don't close them off every once in a while!

So, I don't know if I mentioned this buy I'm expecting a new little baby girl this May!! I was hoping to go off work today but, of course, my OB thought that was a bit premature! Grrrrrrr...... oh well!!!

abacus - I gave you a mention on my page and now someone's asking you questions! (She's bought lots from me so she's a good target!) LOL!

Hey Guys!! Sorry I've been MIA over the last few days!! I'm 31 weeks preggo today and I'm already getting to that super exhausted phase again!! I swear, I took a 5 hour nap yesterday and then by 8 am was tired again!!!

Hubby is working on the nursery with my dad today..so excited! He bought some gorgeous crown molding yesterday, along with rope lighting to put behind the molding (on a dimmer switch). We did that in our first daughters nursery and it was AMAZING!! It was like having a nightlight all around the room!! I'll take some pics when it's done!

I started working on some new projects but I recently ordered some tags with my shop name on it so I"m holding off on finishing them so I can sew in the tags - to look a bit more legit! IF anyone is looking for a good Etsy shop for tags though, I highly recommend Jennifersjewels...she has been awesome!!

Hi Everyone!
Someone asked about a charity and I can't find the post. It was regarding Posh Nursery getting involved in one. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Welcome to the newbies! I'll be checking out your shops soon! Don't forget to give us your facebook links and blogs.

Don't know where else to post this, but one of our purchases was just used as a prop at a professional photographer's shop. It really shows the importance of good photography! We are extremely flattered and impressed with this woman's skill. Check out her blog and check out our velveteen rabbit! Cedric is famous! And of course, I now realize all my photos must be redone...

The photos are gorgeous and your velveteen rabbit is beautiful ~ did you know when she purchased it that it might end up in one of her photo spreads?

CONGRATS!!

[Former_Member]

I had NO idea and she bought it a month ago. Here I was worried not getting feedback, and then I got a sweet note this morning with the pics. Seriously, if that woman lived closer, I would pay to have her retake my whole shop. As my friend put it, we've been vogued! :)

I'll be back tomorrow with a new team treasury! Night all.

[Former_Member]

Will she let you use one of those pics in a listing?

[Former_Member]

Also - got a really quick blog posting in before bed!
